This risible little turd of a man finally packed it in today. He went on National Radio today telling us how he had won a belt at Super-Bantam, and how hard it is. He never fought ANYONE at 122....no Caballero, no Vasquez, no Marquez, nada.

Bye Bye Bernard you BITCH.

 

harsh.

no self-loving Irish person would say that about Dunne.

 

shitty thread, he had great courage and an awful chin, and managed to retain his likeability in the context of the crummy brian peters promotions circuses at the point

 

Very harsh...

Agreed with the sentiments echoed elsewhere- Dunne was a gusty little fucker who contributed to IMHO the best fight of 2009 with Cordoba.

Unfortunately for him, he has an Amir Khan-esque chin. His last fight was a full on massacre.

MTF

 

He only seems to have been around 5 minutes......surely he'll be back

 

He went on Radio today and lauded himself endlessly....he never defended either of his titles successfully and never fought a recognized 122lb champion. Did he have balls? Yeah, he had balls. He had the balls to build himself up. He got run out of wildcard and then he got the chance of a life time to win a title at 122 vs a former flyweight, who nearly had him out of there. Good riddance.

 

He is 30, has no chin, and is living in an Ireland which can no longer afford to waste €100 on a night out, shirtless, at the National Arena, singing the National Anthem through a haze of Cider-inspired glory, for the benefit of a little chinless bum.

 

Being honest TKO, that is an Eamon Dunphy response, if ever there was one.

I am begrudging nobody anything.

Dunne was an RTE phenomenon, a fad, a trend, and should not be regarded as one our best boxers ever.

 

I didn't realise he was as old as 30....obviously turned pro late.

Limited as he was, he was always a pretty exciting fighter....and his vulnerability had something to do with that.

I wasn't exposed to the RTE hype, so don't have anything against him (and i don't think it should be automatically held against him anyway....what's he to do?)....he's always seemed like a decent enough guy to me.

 

(FAIRWEATHER) Irish 2002/2003...


REED:hammert:

 

Nah....Sean, you are not being fair.....here is a white world champion that I have been saying for years IS A BUM AND A FRAUD...how very Un-Me of Me.

I always figured the guy for a fraud.

Look....his father is the caretaker of a block of fancy apartments in the Financial Services Center in Dublin and he used to be telling anyone who would listen that Bernard was handling Manny and Mosley down at the Wildcard in LA.:shit::shit::notallthere:

It's not just that the guy had no chin and was DEE-stroyed twice in shocking fashion, .....it's the whole fake, manufactured schmeer of the lad.

 

You are way harsh, he may have only beaten one world class opponent, and his occassional in-the-ring show-boating was annoying if just part of his style, but he's always conducted himself well outside the ring and put boxing and neilstown in a positive light, and never hid or was in denial after his crushing defeats...plus he's a fairly solid pundit as he demonstrated during the olympics

 

Fairly sold pundit compared to whom? Mick Dowling? :shit:

I mean....it was becoming an embarrassment. It got to the stage that Jimmy Magee was talking about "Phantom Punches"....:bangh::bangh:

 

You're criticising the circus around him, the same might have happened to Lee or McCluskey had they been Dubliner and had a little of Dunne's personality...RTE and the Irish media always humiliate themselves in the coverage of minor sports where an Irish sportsperson enjoys some success

 

Yes....like when they attacked Barry McGuigan back in the 80's. Remember that? Dermot Morgan and the "Thank You Very Much Mr Eastwood!:flip:

I think they are trying to make up for that now with this excess.

Bernard was a dab hand at selling himself off as a legit World Champ and talking shite in front of the cameras...and now this latest chapter about how he took on all comers and won a title in the hardest division ever, like.:shit::shit:

At around 7:30

 

"Thank you very much mr Eastwood" was a comedy record, I actually have a copy at home, Morgan did comedy pastiches of anything topical at the time, that was his niche. I actually don't remember a backlash against McGuigan, I do remember the hostility towards barney eastwood, entirely justfied as it happens. I do remember all my school firiends with McGuigan tracksuits and clones cyclone t-shirts for sale in Dunnes.

 

Well they can dig up {ha ha} Morgan now and get him to do a new comedy video.

 

I watched a live stream of the Poonsawat fight (not a stream posted from here, obviously...) and listened to the Irish commentary with a hearty chuckle. They had him winning the fight until he was brutally destroyed, the second KD (I think) coming from a non-existant punch which, to everyone else, looked like a perfectly placed and extremely hard left hook.

Made ITV look positively credible.

MTF ::

 

I agree with Irish,..he should be sentenced to die.

 

Dave Boy McAuley....the Arsene Wenger of boxing. A man who never saw nothing.


It was the first KD that had them pondering the forces of gravity. Poontang landed a savage hook and Dunne did the old "sweet repose" manoeuvre onto the mat, face first.

 

:::::laughing:......I never said that, none of your Bilges-Talk here.

 

:::crafty: ,.. I do believe you have a long ancestory in Ireland,.. it was not literal, but rather the survivors suspected that your ancient ancestor had sold them out to the vikings, given the insurmountable tangental evidence that could lead them to only one conclusion,.. however the majority "Pacquiao-groupies" of that age,.. irrationally gave him the benefit of the doubt, but there was always a small minority of believers who when spoke of him, referred to him as 'the norse warf rat' and I should know, I've had the tale past down from generation to generation from an Irish relative who's own ancestors lived in the same region at the time.

 

Bernard did vaguely resemble a rat, the result of boiling down too much to fight flyweights, thus taking advantage of his gargantuan 34" span.

 

We are the result of our ancient relatives,..and thus it is truelly no suprise that you take the right-wing view of the Pacquiao groupies given the long history of your predecessors, you scratched up all the communities spuds in criminal syndicates and a quarter of my strain was shipped off to Australia eventually, as for Bernard Dunne, I already agreed with you, he should be shot behind the ear.
